"If you have something that you don't want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn't be doing it in the first place."-Eric Schmidt, CEO Google.

Would Mr. Schmidt apply his encapsulated philosophy of privacy to Google too? If so, does that mean Google shouldn't have turned over data to NSA?  Would it apply to spying generally, to PRISM, to the US government? Schmidt's view is a sort-of "assumption of the risk" philosophy. Isn't that what spying is generally? Essentially, if you get caught, don't bitch?
